Abstract: 

Problem-solving stands as the primary method for mastering calculus and matrix algebra. As students work through problem solutions, they often encounter several challenges. Some may struggle to grasp the connection between the theory and the solution, while others may find solutions unclear due to missing steps or insufficient explanations. Weak algebra skills also pose difficulties. In fact, many agree that the latter issue is one of the main reasons behind students’ struggles with calculus. In response to these challenges, I have developed workbooks for Calculus I and II and Matrix Algebra, incorporating a certain number of features that I will present in this talk. Additionally, I will discuss a pedagogical innovation associated with the workbooks.
